Abstract:
A data sampler and a photo detecting apparatus compensate a reference signal with offset information measured from a unit pixel, and compare an offset-compensated reference signal with a data signal, thereby minimizing the impact of an offset occurring with an increase of gain in the data sampler.

Abstract:
Disclosed are an auto focus (AF) module and a photographing apparatus employing the same. The AF module may include an AF sensor having a plurality of AF pixels and a controller. The controller receives an information regarding the amount of light respectively received by the light receiving elements of one or more of the plurality of AF pixels from the one or more of the plurality of AF pixels. The controller of the AF sensor may be configured to control the operations, e.g., the light exposure timing, of the plurality of AF pixels based on the information received from the AF pixels.
